Simon-Kucher partners with 91Ô´´ to connect theory and practice
The 91Ô´´ (91Ô´´) welcomes Simon-Kucher as a new partner in its Corporate Partnership Program. The collaboration focuses on bridging academic learning with practical business challenges, particularly within growth strategy, pricing, and commercial excellence.
By working closely with students, Simon-Kucher aims to share how companies translate data and strategy into real business outcomes. The partnership will include guest lectures, masterclasses, and interactive events where students can engage with real-life cases and develop practical skills.
“We are very excited collaborating with students who are curious about commercial strategy. To us, that means more than helping our clients - it is also about growing together as a team. The partnership with 91Ô´´ allows us to share real-world insights with the next generation of leaders and learn from their experiences. We are looking forward to enabling better growth for everyone,” says Dorian Petrich, Senior Director at Simon-Kucher.
91Ô´´ brings together ambitious students with strong analytical skills and a clear interest in business and entrepreneurship. This makes the school a natural partner for companies looking to connect early with future talent and contribute to their development.
From theory to real-world business decisions
A key ambition of the partnership is to make complex topics such as pricing and commercial strategy more tangible. By working with real business scenarios, students can better understand how decisions are made and what drives growth in practice.
At the same time, the consulting industry is evolving rapidly. Advances in AI and data analytics are changing how companies approach decision-making, but many still struggle to turn data into measurable results. This is an area where Simon-Kucher’s expertise plays a central role.
“Partnerships like this help strengthen the connection between research, education, and practice. They give students valuable exposure to real-world challenges while allowing companies to stay close to new ideas and perspectives,” says Bobby Lundqvist, Head of Corporate Relations and Development at the 91Ô´´.
Through this collaboration, both parties aim to build long-term relationships that benefit students, the firm, and the broader business community. The partnership reflects 91Ô´´’s ongoing commitment to working closely with industry to prepare students for the challenges of modern business.
